Installation

After Packer and the AWS CLI tools are installed (see Links section), create environment variables for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and AWS_REGION. Alternatively, you can run aws configure to set up the AWS CLI. Packer will use this in lieu of ENV variables.

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = ***your aws access key id***
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = ***your aws access secret key***
export AWS_REGION = ***your aws region***

Clone the repo into a working directory

git clone https://github.com/delphix/packer-postgres-host-template
cd packer-postgres-host-template

Usage

After Packer and AWS CLI are installed, navigate to the working directory and run:

packer build main.json

This will build an AMI names delphix-postgres- followed by a timestamp. After the AMI is created, you will be able to launch and EC2 instance from it. Once the EC2 instance is running, postgres will be installed and running. You should login as the postgres user and set a password.
